Chapter 257 The Qin army set out again.
Ying Zheng summoned several ministers in the court and explained to them in detail the uses of grenades.
Everyone was amazed again.
The respect for Qi Pan became even stronger.
After discussion, grenades were sent to the army and a new battle plan was formulated.
At the same time, the Women's Medical College also went through layers of selection.
The best palace maids were selected to form a female medical team.
After a winter of secret training, he was sent to the military logistics department.
Set out again with the army and rush to the battlefield.
Qi Pan stood in the cold wind, looking into the distance.
I wonder if this batch of gunpowder and grenades is enough...
She looked at Ying Zheng who was standing beside her and asked.
"Brother, do you think this batch of grenades and gunpowder is enough?"
Ying Zheng's pair of black eyes were also looking into the distance.
"It doesn't matter. Even if it's not enough, once the base is ready, I will order people to send them to the front line continuously."
"We will never let the soldiers on the front line lack gunpowder and grenades."
The pace of unifying the six kingdoms is really too slow.
He couldn't wait any longer.
He must destroy King Xi of Yan who was hiding in Liaodong as quickly as possible.
If we destroy Qi, there are still Baiyue and Xiongnu.
It's been long enough.
Even if he used gunpowder or grenades, he would blow them away.
It is necessary to unify the six kingdoms as soon as possible so that we can start the next plan.
All of Qin's food, fodder, and money were used to supply military needs.
From the palace and the powerful families to the merchants and the common people, everyone tightened their belts.
Just to supply the army with enough food and fodder.
In a civilian's house.
The room was simple and drafty in some places.
In broad daylight, the man lay down on the bed.
He was still covered with a blackened quilt.
The person under the quilt was shivering.
"Squeak."
“Huff, huff, huff…”
The door was opened.
The cold wind was howling outside.
A thin figure quickly hid in the house from outside.
Close the door tightly to block out the cold wind outside.
The man stamped his feet on the spot to relieve his legs which were numb from the cold.
Seeing that the woman had gone to bed in broad daylight, the man added a few pieces of firewood he had picked up to the fire.
"Crack!"
The semi-wet firewood came into contact with the fire and produced a puff of black smoke.
"Ahem...what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Why did you lie down there in broad daylight?"
The woman lying on the bed poked her head out from under the quilt.
"No, I'm just hungry."
"If you lie down and fall asleep, you won't be hungry anymore."
Her family had a small harvest this year, and most of the grain was paid as taxes.
Most of the remaining food was donated to the army, leaving only a little.
Normal eating is definitely not enough to get through this winter.
They could only dig up some grass roots and tree bark, add some salt and cook them together when the wind was not too strong and there was no snow.
It can barely fill your stomach.
It's freezing cold and there's not much work to do, so we try not to go out.
Eat less if you can.
The man put the pot on the fire and boiled some hot water.
He poured a bowl, sprinkled some salt in it, and handed it to the woman by the bed.
"Come on, get up and drink some salt water."
"This salt water will give you strength, and the hot water will make you full. Drink it and then go to sleep."
"it is good."
The woman climbed out of bed, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and breathed out.
She took the bowl from the man and drank slowly.
The woman said, "The fine salt invented by the national master is really good. It doesn't taste weird at all."
"That is."
The man said, "Otherwise, how can we say that our national teacher is a god?"
"Our national master knows how to do this, even though no one else can."
"Our Imperial Master has something that no one else has!"
"Once we have defeated all the surrounding countries, our good days will come."
The woman drank the hot salt water and said, "There is no need to wait until we defeat all other countries. I think now is already a good time."
Ok?
Now is the good day?
The man was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
The woman raised the bowl in her hand and said, "Isn't this it?"
"We couldn't even afford coarse salt before, but now we not only have salt, but fine salt."
"Didn't the village headman say this some time ago? The palace will distribute a batch of seeds in the spring."
"It seems to be called something...Mi..."
Man: "Corn."
"Yes, corn!"
The woman said, "I heard that corn is a high-yield crop that can be harvested twice a year."
“Just plant the corn seeds in the spring and take good care of and fertilize them.”
"When we get to July or August, we can harvest."
"Moreover, the yield of corn per acre is two to three times that of millet."
"What does three or four times the amount mean? The food that originally ate one meal can be eaten for three meals."
"What a wonderful thing! Isn't this a good day?"
After hearing what the woman said, the man also remembered what the head of the village said.
He nodded. "You're right."
"The life we are living now is already a good life."
"Although this winter is a little difficult, it's okay, as long as spring comes."
"By then, grass will grow in the fields and there will be wild vegetables in the mountains."
"Although we don't have much food, we can still have enough to eat if we add some grass roots and wild vegetables."
"If you are full, you will have the energy to work. As long as you plant the corn seeds, you will have enough food to eat soon."
They knew that the Imperial Master and His Majesty sent troops to attack other countries in order to unify the world.
It is to allow more people to eat fine salt, have enough food and live a good life like them.
And they also know that even if their country's army does not attack others, others will attack them.
They would come to snatch the fine salt that they ate every day and the newly discovered high-yield grain seeds.
These things don’t exist in other countries. When they find out, they will be jealous.
If they come to rob, Qin is such a large country with so many people.
No matter how careful we are, other countries will still be able to take advantage of loopholes.
If the grain seeds are snatched away by them, they will have eaten their fill and tasted the sweetness.
They will certainly be even more desperate and will kill and rob them in a murderous manner.
They stole their food, burned their houses, and killed their relatives and children.
In this case, why not take action first, rob them of their food, property, and houses...
Forget it.
The house won’t burn down.
After all, once they took it, it would become their house.
You should still cherish your own things.
Just kill those who don't obey.
Only the obedient ones are left.
The people of Qin are a warlike nation at heart.
Men and women are looking forward to their sons returning home with glory from the battlefield with military achievements.
If ordinary people in wartime want to transcend class and gain wealth and glory, they can only go to the battlefield and earn military merit!
